Building My Fully MikroTik Home Network! - Part 2: MikroTik CRS Switches

Todays' video is the second video in my series where I migrate my home network to run entirely on MikroTIk hardware. In this episode we'll be taking a look at three really interesting switches from MikroTik - the CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM, the CRS312-4C+8XG-RM and the CRS310-8G+2S+IN. We'll take a look at the hardware talk about the RouterOS software and how it works on a switch then finally get them installed in my rack and talk about my thoughts!
